St. Stephen Mayor John Quartermain tells Tide News he truly thinks the Aces team will bring unity to our small communities. He tells us "...it's awesome to have a team here to anchor this facility [ the Garcelon Civic Centre ], it gives the kids somebody to look up to and see what they can achieve if they set out to do whatever it is they want to do."
Over the river, Calais Mayor Marianne Moore tells Tide News this will not only help the economy -- it's a great opportunity for our kids. Moore says, "I'm really excited for this. We already knew the Civic Centre was going to help our economic development for both sides of the river, but having a team and a franchise here is making everything just so much more."
Hockey Canada allowing the County Aces up to 8 american players on the team.
